A Thriller Halloween in Glendale

Los Angeles has plenty of great trick-or-treating neighborhoods; we have friends who swear by Angelino Heights, thanks in part to all of those old Victorians. This year, we joined in the festivities on busy Geneva St. in Glendale's Rossmoyne district. The homes are elaborately decorated, and one address always puts on a "Thriller" show (this year from a makeshift pirate ship). The sidewalks are packed with kids and adults -- not always the best thing when you're with a group and trying to keep track of both kids -- and because there are so many people, the homes skimp on the candy. But no matter. Both of the Franklin Avenue kids had a great time, and that's all you can ask for on Halloween.
